2010/11/06 | 219 | 765 | <issue_start>username_0: I want to report a bug / RFE with the official GMail app, but I'm finding it hard to find the right place to do this - all the forums / discussion groups I've found so far seem to be moribund (eg not much activity since 2008).

2010/11/07 | 546 | 2,133 | <issue_start>username_0: In almost all Android devices, zoom is digital -- there just isn't a mechanism for changing the length of the barrel and gathering more info.
So how is **focus** achieved?
If you're not physically changing the lens properties, or extending the barrel length, you've only got dilation of the ap... |

This can be utterly annoying when lying in bed and the handset needs a reboot as it invariably wakes up the wife.

The standard way of clearing the defaults in "Manage Applications" is greyed out.

2010/11/09 | 540 | 1,957 | <issue_start>username_0: Are there any apps which support both PDF and EPUB files?
I've tried Alkido, Laputa, and StarBooks, they only seem to support either PDF OR epub, not both.
